Kim Possible Movie: So The Drama Film Review

Disney has been trying to make alot of strong female characters recently yet what they fail to realise is the fact that they've already done that. With the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today not only being a good example of how to do a strong female character but also a film that could also be a mini Boy Meets World reunion and so then join me as I review the film that was so popular that it forced Disney to renew the show that it's based off of for one more season with the film in question being called simply just "Kim Possible Movie: So The Drama" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Dr. Drakken launches his evil scheme to rule the world it's up to Kim Possible to save the day all the while having a boyfriend that causes friction between her and Ron. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good and was oddly a right way to end the show as it's just epic enough to be worthy of being in a movie and yet at the same time being the next logical step up for this franchise which is something that does make sense as this film was meant to end the show and that is something that does show all the through the plot of this film as this films plot does wrap up the main plot of the show in a way that feels natural with the plot of the film being a really fun filled plot and one that does feel right at home with the show and while the 2019 film would try and up and stakes plot wise it just can't compete with this films plot as we the audience had the chance to get to know these characters something which the film does take full advantage in it's plot with it being something that does work well enough to the films advantage and while the plot of the film could be seen as being a bit on the weak side that is a case that could also be argued for an episode of the show as well with it not being something that's unique to this film but to give this films plot some credit it is only a story that could only be told in a feature film format which does mean that this films plot isn't something that would make the film feel like an extended episode of the show with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Christy Carlson Romano as Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible and Will Friedle as Ronald "Ron" Stoppable. Also starring in this film is Nancy Cartwright as Rufus , Tahj Mowry as Wade Load , John DiMaggio as Dr. Drakken , Nicole Sullivan as Shego , Ricky Ullman as Eric , Gary Cole as Dr. James Timothy Possible , Jean Smart as Dr. Ann Possible , Shaun Fleming as Jim and Tim Possible , Raven-Symoné as Monique , Kirsten Storms as Bonnie Rockwaller , Rider Strong as Brick Flagg , Diedrich Bader as Lars , Eddie Deezen as Ned , Clyde Kusatsu as Nakasumi , Lauren Tom as Miss Kyoko , Kevin Michael Richardson as Sumo Ninja and Dr. Gooberman , Maurice LaMarche as Big Daddy Brotherson , voice acting legend Tara Strong as Dr. Possible's Voice Command and April Winchell as A Reporter.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which is something that does make a whole lot of sense given just how is starring in this film as alot of this films actors are a bunch of really good actors in their own right and therefor it does make sense that they would all turn in some really goo performances in this film with alot of them also reprising their roles from the show as well with this being something that does also help the films acting as who else would know best on how to portray these characters then the actors themselves with it actually being quite hard to say just who the best actor is in this film as if you want someone who is more dramatic then you have Christy Carlson Romano nailing it as Kim but if you want someone who is little bit more goofy and just more fun to listen to in this film then you have the choice of either Will Friedle , John DiMaggio and Nicole Sullivan among many others with all three of them turning in these really goofy performances and yet it's those goofy performances that do work for these characters as these characters are much as they can be very dramatic can also be quite goofy with even Christy Carlson Romano even being a bit goofy at times as well and yet none of it feels out of character for any of them with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this film actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rough Draft Korea. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty but at the same time it wasn't all that good either as there was very little visual upgrade from what we were getting in the show and fair enough this might be because of the fact that this film had a really small budget like a lot of Disney Channel Original Movies do but there are a few shots spread through out the film that do show a huge visual upgrade from the shows animation which while it is nice to see that kind of upgrade in the film it also makes you wonder why the rest of the film wasn't given that upgrade as well as this film does look like an episode of the show as a result of that lack of upgrade and while the film does blend it 3D CGI with 2D handdrawn animation really well it doesn't take away from the fact that this films animation could have been a lot more better now we are not talking about making it Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension but it should have been something that looked better the shows animation quality which fair enough was already really high quality in the first place and adding in the CGI was a great way to make the film standout on an animation level but this films animation is just lacking that extra special something as while the characters have these nice and fluid movements and the backgrounds look nice there's nothing that separates them from what we were getting in an episode of the show.

This show has always been influenced by James Bond with this film wearing it's influence on it's sleeve. With the film having a very James Bond esique title sequence which does look like it that it came right out of a sixties James Bond film and while that is something that could be seen as a being a bad thing as it would just be reminding you of other better films here tho given the fact that Kim Possible is basically a spy franchise only for kids it does make sense that they would tip there hat to the grandaddy of all spy franchises even if it's not a direct reference to any of the James Bond films and while this films opening title sequence won't quite capture the imagination the same way that a James Bond title sequence would do the very fact that the makers of this film not only did one but also had what could very well be considered a pre-title sequence as well does make it look like that the makers of this film where showing there love for the James Bond franchise but doing so in way that's unique to not only them but also the Kim Possible franchise as you could very well believe that any film featuring this character would start of the way that this one does just to get you in the mood for the film that's to come with it being made perfectly clear that the makers of this film knew how to make a great Kim Possible film and just had fun with it and because of that while we do get a film that is basically James Bond for the Disney crowd it is something that does work really well as the film isn't afraid to be the dumb movie that people already think that it's going to be with this also being the very thing that makes the film alot more fun to watch as well as by all rights this film is one that should have been rally bad but because of the fact that the makers of the film knew that they were making a dumb film it allowed them to make the film alot more fun in the process.

While this film does put alot more focus on both it's action and romance aspect this film is also a comedy film. With the films comedy being very much like it's romance aspect in that it's very hit and miss as while the film does have some funny moments with Ron getting upset at every little change that's being made to his favorite restaurant Bueno Nacho with even Rufus getting a few small laughs here and there from a comedy point of view this film does feel like that it's trying to hard to funny where as the show just was funny as it allowed the characters to be there more goofy selfs where as here because of the fact that the films romance aspect of the film gets alot more attention then the films comedy part of it it does mean that jokes that should have been funny just don't work as well as they should have done with the film even carrying on running jokes from the show like for example Ron loosing his pants which is funny and even Dr. Drakken forgetting Ron's name both of which are still funny in this film but they do them so many times in the film that they start to become unfunny because it's a joke that we've seen played out where in the show you'd get one of those jokes maybe once an episode and that's it which allowed them to remain being cute and funny gags and even the films romance aspect felt forced and was the part pf the film where it started to feel the most boring as while Kim Possible has always been about mixing being a spy with the average life of a teenage girl it was always fairly well balanced where as here it felt like that they were leaning more into the teen drama side of the things then they were anything else and that helped o make the film quite a bit boring to watch at times.

To give this film some credit it's villains Dr. Drakken and Shego much like they were in the show and even the 2019 movie for that matter were hugely entertaining in this film. As any scene with the pair of them together is always going to be comedy gold with Dr. Drakken having this really over the top villain plan to finally defeat Kim Possible by learning what her one true weakness is and then trying to take over the world by launching a robot invasion which is something that is just so over the top that not only could not only work in a film but it's also something that's also quite perfect for his character as well as he is a really over the top character with him even being the Ron to Shego's Kim in that just like Ron he's utterly useless but also quite fun to watch and just like Kim Shego is the one that really does all of the heavy lifting and isn't afraid to speak her mind and while him having a clear end goal in mind doesn't make the smartest villain out there as he is afterall still a lovable goofball it's the fact that even both Kim and Shego both of whom are characters that have proven themselves to be quite smart in the past can't quite work out what his plan in the first place that oddly makes it a good plan as if they can't work out then how can he be stopped and because of the fact that we'd had three seasons worth of episodes at that point in time we really do feel a sense of fear for Kim as this time she really is facing Dr. Drakken at his best which is something that does make his plan not ingenious but something that's smart by his standards but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the makers of the film had left clues for us the audience to work out just what his plan is in the first place as then we can basically be Kim and work out as we go along and reach the same conclusion when she does and not have it spelled out for us.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and one second. Which to be fair is pretty much the exact grad total running time that you'd expect an animated Kim Possible movie to have and to this films credit it really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while the film does use it's running time wisely in one regard in that it's main characters are as fully developed as there going to be that's more due to the fact that alot of them did stat out on the show and isn't really anything to do with this film it doesn't use it's running time all that wisely when it comes to it's plot however as the plot is all of over the place with them having three plots going on all at the same time as we have the main plot of the film and then both Kim and Ron have there subplots as well and while they all do tie together in a way that does make sense as Kim's plot is all about getting a boyfriend who turns out is working for Drakken and Ron's subplot is all about investigating the changes that are happening at Bueno Nacho which again does tie back into the main plot as that's where Drakken is using to manufacture his evil robots it does leave little room for the main plot to be as fully developed as it really could have been as all three plots are all fighting for screentime with this being something that very easily could have been fixed just by giving this film fifteen extra minuets of running time as then all three plots could have the screentime that they all need and all three can have those big moments that the makers of this film are quite obviously trying to have with them but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as is this an action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film action being one of the more entertaining aspects of the film as you can tell right away that the makers of this film put alot of thought and effort into creating some really action set pieces for this film with them really going above and beyond what they were able to do in the show and while this films action will of course never be ale to top anything in a theatrically released action film for a made for TV kids animated action film this films action was alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this film should have played it safe during this films action but the very fact that they didn't and actually gave us some fun action scenes says that the makers of this film knew how to craft some good looking action with the best action scene in the whole entire film being the films third act as that's where all of the films plots come together with the film even mixing CGI with handdrawn animation as well with the films animation even coming more alive during this third act and really making it all the more better then what it should have been with the rest of this films action being really good it's just none of this films action is as good as this films third act as it really was just as fun as the rest of this films action was as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while A Stitch In Time is technically the first Kim Possible movie it's this film that is the first proper Kim Possible movie with this film being a really fun film and while the film was meant to serve as the series finale due to this film being so good the fans demanded a fourth season of the show and that's exactly what we got but if this film was to have served as the show finale then it would have been a perfectly serviceable way to end the show as this film is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that sre in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official James Bond fandom wiki page , the official Kim Possible fandom wiki page and the official Disney fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great the official Disney fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Disney fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

WWE Evolution 2025 Review

Women's wrestling has come along way in the past few decades as before you were lucky to get a women's match on a single wrestling show and even then it was nearly always the match that people were interested in the least where as now the women are not only regularly main eventing episode shows but also bigger shows like Wrestlemania as well. Well the WWE have only just remembered that they had an all women's PPV air about eight years ago as they've just aired another edition of it and so then join me as I review the show that is shockingly alot more better then what it really had any right to be with the show in question being called simply just "Evolution" enjoy.

Out of all of the stories involving the women that this show has going into it the biggest one isn't the main event storyline as it's instead the feud between Naomi and Jade Cargill. Which is a bit of a negative thing going into this show as while that story is good and heck it's the best story going into the show it's also really the only storyline that the show has as well as alot of these matches were thrown together weeks before the show itself and therefor no storylines could be built up while yes there was the mini story with Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez that plot is all but done with by the time that this show even starts with the lack of any real storylines really effecting this show and while yes the feud between Becky , Bayley and Lyra has been going since the Raw after Wrestlemania this year it's also one that really hasn't been kicked into a high gear with none of the shows storylines getting any kind of advancement which is something that can make this show seem more like a glorified house show as all of the shows stories either get wrapped up or possibly on hold for now or are all but wrapped up or nothing actually changes in them to the point where you want to see more from those stories and see how that can advance which is odd as the WWE also sired a show that is a glorified house show just the day before that this show was due to air and that show had more of a build towards it then what this show had.

The stage for this show is pretty much the bogstandard small arena stage for alot of WWE shows as all it is is just a set of small looking LED screens and that's really it. Which is fine if your in an arena that doesn't have enough room for a large set and it is something that the WWE themselves have used before in there TV shows so in this regard it does make sense to use this set again for this show as Evolution isn't a big PLE for them but at the same time tho it would have been nice if this show did have it's own unique looking set as then that would have made the show stand out from all of the other wrestling shows that were on this past weekend and heck they even could have filled out with female wrestlers from the past to honor them as well but they instead chose to go with a bland and boring set design that doesn't really add anything to the theme of this show as this is a show that's meant to be all about the women of the WWE and yet they choose to give them a bland and boring set that would look right at home on either Raw or Smackdown as there you have the excuse of that there just using it to save money on a weekly show which is fair enough but there they really could have tapped into that TKO money to come up with something that would not only honor the women wrestlers and how far women's wrestling as a whole has come but also look good and look like the kind of PLE set that the company used to do back in the Attitude Era where all of there PLE sets actually looked like the theme of the show that they were being used for as this set does look quite bland with it looking like the kind of set that you'd make as a throwaway set in a WWE video game and not something that you'd expect the company to make for real.

To be fair to this show and it's set the reason why they might have used the smaller set might be due to the fact that the arena that there hoisting the show in might not be big enough to hold an entire set. Which if so is fair enough as not all arena's are big arena's but at the same time they must have known due to the fact that the first Evolution PPV was a huge success and the fact that people have been asking for more of these shows for years now that they would be getting alot of people to see this show and therefor getting a much more bigger arena which would not only hold more people thus causing them to tell more tickets and more merchandise would be what's best for business in the long run as by holding the show the in a smaller arena you are yes still making money but it's not as much more money as you could have been making if the show was held in a much more bigger arena with the shows set being something that also could have used a bit of an upgrade as while having a small stripped back set is great for TV as you have to make the show on a weekly basis for a PLE they really could have gone all out and while there's no dead space in regards to the shows set that's more due to the fact that the arena really does cover up alot of the set and not due to the set design itself which as was just mentioned does look like something that you'd create in a WWE video game very quickly as there not really alot of thought but into this shows set design but given that the arena that this show takes place might not be able to support a huge set that is something that might make alot of sense tho as after all they are forced to work with something that wasn't really built for them and therefor have to make the best with what little that they have to work with in the first place. 

As much of a good show that this show was there was stuff in it that was more of a set up for Clash In Paris. While them setting up that show is a good idea it does also make those moments in this show feel pointless as we didn't need to see the twenty women battle royal and nor did we need the stipulation for the Jade Vs Naomi be that the winner of that match gets to face the winner of the Trish vs Tiffany match as both of those things could have been decided on TV but for whatever reason the WWE felt that they were needed to be done on this show but all that does is make this show feel like that they were just trying to cram in as many of the female roster as they possibly could have done and while the overall quality of the show isn't affected by this as it's still a really good show in it's own right there really did need to be someone backstage telling Triple H or Stephanie McMahon no as it did feel like that they were trying to put on alot of pointless things in this show and heck we didn't even need somebody hosting the show as the hosts not only don't do anything in the show in general other then having Stephanie interview the winner of the battle royal for some reason with that segment also being one that could have been cut from the show as all that does is take up match time that would have been better suited going to another match but on the flip of that is the fact that while the battle royal was a pointless thing to add into this show the match itself was overall pretty fun and really fun to watch as well with there being quite alot of moments in that match that did make it worth watching with those moments sadly being things that would get cut if the match aired on an episode of either Raw or Smackdown and not a PLE.

One of the things that is both a blessing and a curse for this show is seeing just how many people that the WWE managed to get to cameo in this show. With them cutting to the live crowd quite alot of times during this show to show off just how many famous faces where there alot of which do make sense as alot of them where famous female wrestlers or women who worked or the WWE which does make alot sense as the show is all about honoring the female wrestlers of the WWE as does showing Mark Henry given that he worked for them but for some odd reason they also show us rappers as well which fair enough is something that they do all the time but at the same time tho it does feel weird seeing them at this show as nine times out of ten alot of them won't even know who these wrestlers are and are just there to help to shift one of there own pieces of merchandise and that's it and while it was nice to see alot of these famous again as alot of them do remind you of how good that those people were at wrestling they do it so often that it starts to loose it's impact and starts to become more distracting as all it does is take you out of the action of the show alot of the time for no good reason other then to show you that a rapper you haven't heard off is also watching the same show as you and that they are going on tour with another rapper that you haven't heard off either and that's really and heck it would have been nice if they had some people played apart in the early NXT days show up as those women where just as important if not more so then when they got drafted to Raw and Smackdown as there's no Paige and no Emma and while it does make sense that there was no Mercedes Varnado as she is with AEW they still could have given tickets to people like Gail Kim or Victoria for example as they to did there part in showing just how good women's wrestling could be.

To give this show some credit it is alot of fun to watch with alot of the matches being given the right amount of time. With even the battle royal match having a pretty funny moment where Maxxine just shouts at Natalya to do the worm which was a funny moment with all of this show matches being alot of fun to watch with part of what helped to make these matches so good in the first place was the fact that the crowd was super into alot of the matches altho it did seem like that the Naomi Vs Jade match did where them out so much that they just couldn't get into the Tiffany Vs Trish match which is an issue that's very quickly solved just by flipping the match order to have the twenty woman battle royal take place before that match instead of after it and the battle royal act as the break match for the audience but other then that the match order for this show was pretty solid with the crowd being super into everything that all of the competitors did and that was something that really did shine through as it made this reviewer super into alot of the matches as well which does go to show you that if the crowd are really into it and if the noise isn't being piped through then those at home will get into it as well which does make the product all the more fun to watch and given that the WWE held THREE shows in Atlanta that weekend as they also have Saturday Night's Main Event and NXT: The Great American Bash it's a wonder that this crowd was able to to move due to how hot these Atlanta crowds seem to be as they were into this show big time so much that it wouldn't be all that surprising if WWE chose to run more shows there in the future.

To be frank there is only one upside for the women's battle royal at least from the point of view f the casual fans. With that being that they now get to see women that they might not have heard off and thus want to see more of them with the likes of Lash Legend and Kelani Jordan for example being a good example of this as NXT isn't that well known of a brand or it's not on the same level of awareness as both Raw and Smackdown are for example with both of those women and many more for that matter getting a good show in in the battle royal match which is something that could in turn get the more causal watcher interested in seeing more of their matches which if done correctly could lead to a spike in viewership for NXT with both of those women really sowing just what it is that they can do in the ring while they do get hidden by alot of the other wrestlers as is all ways going to be the case in matches like that what little of them that we can actually see does make them look good so much so that it wouldn't be a stretch to see either of them on the main roster and while it's kind of a cliche for someone from the WWE to say that they have the best women's wrestlers in the world as that's more down to what it is that your looking for and not an actual fact alot of the women in this battle royal including Stephanie Vaquer do have all the potential in the world to make it big as pro wrestlers should the company continue to use them in the right way and given just how well that the company has been using it's women wrestlers over the last few years it's safe to say that we will be seeing alot more of the women that took part in this match and who knows hopefully they'll get more fans out of it due to the fact that alot of them really got there time to shine in this match be it because of there skill or because of the fact that they were just really entertaining to watch this match does feature women wrestlers for everybody.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly three hours and twenty six minuets and forty nine seconds. Which again to be fair to this show is ore in line with the running times from alot of the PPV's from the attitude era and it really doesn't feel like it was that long at all but at the same time tho this is still quite along running time for a show to have let alone one that does feel like a glorified house show alot of the time as while some of what happens does get brought up on both Raw and NXT alot of it is just there for the sake of being there and while the Triple H era has had some really long run times not only for it's weekly shows but also it's PLE's not every show needs to have an Avengers: Endgame type of running time epically if your not going to use that running time all that wisely either by developing any of the plots on the show as all that does is rob your audience of a reason to be invested in the characters and while it could be argued that the weekly shows are also there to develop the storylines that is something that only works when the show that there building towards has some actually good plots in it in the first place something which this show is very sorely missing as the only story for Tiffany Stratton Vs Trish Stratus is the fact that Tiffany literally chose Trish to be her opponent for this show and that's it which would have been fine if there fight happened on an episode of Smackdown as then it could lead to a bigger story but here it felt out of place as alot of the shows other matches which nine times out of ten also had some pretty bad builds to them they still had something about them that made you care for the story that was being told but I really will admit that this show really does have some really pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a wrestling show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With there being alot of really good matches in this show which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of the wrestlers that are on this show are a bunch of really good wrestlers in there own right ad while it's super hard to say what the best wrestling match is in the card it's not that hard to say what the worst one is and that's quite easily Naomi Vs Jade Cargill as there was alot more focus on using the weapons then what there was in giving us a good match and while having alot of weapons being used does make sense given the fact that there feud has reason that point where they have to use them in this case it is something that does take away from the actual wrestling aspect of the match as none times out of ten we don't see them use any wrestling moves with there also being alot of waiting around while they get ready to do the next big stunt with the best wrestling match in a show that's filled to the brim of a really good matches being either the opening triple threat match between Becky Lynch , Bayley and Lyra Valkyria or the main event match between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky as both matches where just so cool to see with there being plenty of good action in both of them as well all of which does keep you on your toes trying to work out what's going to happen next with alot of this shows matches are also really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall both this show and the first Evolution PPV are proof enough that the WWE should run more of these shows as it's something that the fans want more of as it means that we get alot of good matches out of it with this show being a really good and fun show to watch with this show being a good example of just how good a WWE PLE really can be as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very show in this very review ad as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Dukes Of Hazzard: The Beginning Film Review

It's not uncommon for a movie to spawn a prequel but it is a n uncommon thing to do when the movie was a flop. As is the case with the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today as while the TV series that it's based off of was a huge hit spawning several seasons , two spin off shows and two reunion movies amongst several other things the movie that this is meant to be a prequel to wasn't that good and was loathed by both the actors of the original show and by alot of fans of the original show and so then join me as I review the film that is to date the last thing to be done with The Dukes Of Hazzard franchise with the film in question being called simply just "The Dukes Of Hazzard: The Beginning" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when there farm is threatened with foreclosure it's up to teenage cousins Bo and Luke to find a way to raise the money needed to buy the fark back before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as this is after all a direct to DVD movie and therefor it wouldn't be wise to expect this films plot to be up to the same standards as a theatrically released film but at the same time tho this films plot also isn't as good as it could have been either with the plot of this film feeling like that it's the plot of a made for TV movie and with it meant to bet set in the same continuity as the 2005 Dukes Of Hazzard movie it means that this films plot is a about as far removed from that of the original show as you can get as this films changes so much about the characters backstories that it might as well as a prequel to a different film all together but to give this films plot this it is a plot that does work well with the direct to DVD format as even tho this films plot has the feel of a direct to DVD movie it's also alot more better then what it really had any right to be as there is some kind of effort to recapture the tone and spirit of the original show which is something that the previous film didn't even attempt to do with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jonathan Bennett as Bo Duke , Randy Wayne as Luke Duke and April Scott as Daisy Duke. Also starring in this film is Adam Shulman as Enos Strate , Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse , Chris McDonald as Boss Hogg , Sherilyn Fenn as Lulu Coltrane Hogg , Harland Williams as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane , Jennifer Hill as Brooke Handy , Trishelle Cannatella as Ally Handy , Todd Grinnell as Hughie Hogg , Joel Moore as Cooter Davenport and Gary Cole as The Balladeer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films actors turning in some passable performances but that's all they are there just passable which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of this films actors are some really unknown actors at best with only a few of them being named stars and only two of them being actually good actors with those two actors being Chris McDonald as Boss Hogg and Joel Moore as Cooter Davenport with the pair of them being the best actors in this film which granted isn't that high of a bar to reach considering the fact that alot of this films aren't that well known in the first place but it's also something that's true as well as they feel like that there only actors that are actually really putting in the work and actually trying to turn in a good performance with the rest of this films actors really feeling like that there just phoning in their performances and even Willie Nelson who really is the only actor from the 2005 film to rerise his role in this film oddly feels like that he's phoning in a performance but that really could be more de to the fact that this films director Robert Berlinger quite clearly has no idea how to get a good performance out of his actors and as such alot of this films actors just feel really lost and unsure of what kind of performance to give in this film with this film acting not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Character wise the film still isn't that good as the only reason that people would be watching this film was if they loved the show. With this film not really butchering all of the shows characters as you could very well make the case that the damage was done by the 2005 film but at the same time this film is set in that same continuity and therefor it has the same problems when it comes to alot of it's characters as Bo who was quite smart in the show is now dumb for no reason other then the film needed someone to be the dumb one of the two and Luke in this film is someone who just isn't that fun to be around because of the fact that he's always sticking by the rules something which the show version of the character barely did with this being an issue across alot of it's characters as there all presented as being the complete opposite of how people know them to e as for whatever reason the makers of this film thought that it was a good idea to have this be set in the same continuity as the previous film when having be set in the same world as the show would actually be a good idea but because of the fact that the makers of this film like there take on the characters so much all we get is poorly done versions of a solid characters and while granted the characters in the original show weren't that well done either they all had a few things that this films characters are missing and that's personality and charm as the shows characters were very charming characters that had tons of personality to them which in turn made us the audience fall in love with them where as this films takes on the characters is lacking both of those things therefor we the audience don't have the chance to fall in love with them because of the fact that the film doesn't give us a reason to like them in the first place.

Much like with The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas this film not only changes what was previously established in the original show. It also changes what was established in the film that it's meant to be a prequel to however where as Viva Rock Vegas has the excuse of the original show changed it's own backstory and lore all the time this movie has no such excuse there's really only one time in the shows history where they made a slight change to the shows lore and even then it was a throwaway line in the first reunion movie and that's it where as here the film changes everything all for the purpose of doing a prequel movie like for example in the original film we see how The General Lee Bo and Luke's car got it's famous paint job with the car at the start of the film having a very croodly painted on number one on the door where as here the second that we see the car it already has alot of the paint work done already and one the number one does get added on at the end of a montage sequence it looks like that it was done by a professional and in the original fil it's hinted at more then once that the boys and by extension there cousin Daisy grew up in hazzard where as here we see the boys as teenagers being dropped off in town which makes you wonder why the makers of this film thought that it was OK to make these changes as you well could have worked within the limits set by the previous film to still tell a prequel story which would have worked as it would have been more faithful to the previous film and actually would have stayed true to what the previous film was trying to be like in the first place with these changes feeling like that they were only being made just so the makers of the film can have the car in it's more recognizable form and that's really it.

To be fair to both this film and the previous film it could be argued that this film is meant to be an action comedy. As the film does have some thrilling action and chase scenes in it and while yes granted this film won't be able to top the chase scenes that the previous film had just because of the fact that that film had a much more bigger budget then what this film had that doesn't mean that this films chase scene where any bad because if truth be told there not with the car still looking and still outrunning the law just as well as it ever did back on the show and the fact that there's pretty much no CGI in this film at all means that all of the cars stunts where done for realm and they look good because of it with really there only being one small trace of CGI at the very start of the film but even then it's not in an action scene as it's in the scene where Luke accidentally blows up part of a fair where you can see what looks to be some small amounts of CGI smoke but that's really it and even then that scene was still pretty thrilling to watch as well with the best chase scene in the whole entire movie being the films third act where we see the boys kidnap Boss Hogg and get him to admit to all of the crimes that he's committed during the film all they go ahead and jump the car across this rather large ravine where it's said near the start of the film that only a few people tried it jumping it back in the olden days with none of them making it and all of them ending up injured in someway shape or form which does make it all the more thrilling and exciting when the boys in there car not only do the jump but land it safely on the other side and while the rest f the films car chase sequences are fun to watch none of them top just how good that that one chase is in this film.

Again to give this film some sort of credit it does try to be like in the show in one respect and that's the fact that instead of using modern technology like phones to contact each other all of the films characters just use CB radio to get in touch with each other. However that's the only two things that the movie gets right with the other being the fact that Boss treats Rosco like dirt and that's it and even then that second one isn't exclusive to the show itself as while the Boss Hogg character be it from either the previous movie or the original show would try and buy the Duke farm by any means necessary somethin which he would also try to do in the previous film as well here it did feel out of place given the fact that this is meant to be the first time that he's really feuding with the Duke's where as it would have made more sense for him to try something else first before then moving on to try and get there farm one there feud has reached that boiling point like maybe he could have tried going after The General Lee or even just threatening Uncle Jessie with jail time should he not pay up all the money that he owes him which is something that Boss very easily could have done since he's been looking the other way when it comes to Jesse selling illegal alcohol but at the same time tho having hi go right after there farm is a good way of showing us the audience that je really isn't a nice guy and is more then willing to hurt those who he once called a friend all of the sake of making some extra money out of it it is something that tho that really would have been better used if there feud was at that point where Boss Hogg had no other option and really wanted to threaten them.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and thirty one seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you'd expect a film like this one to have with the film even having more then plot there to really cover that amount of running time as well but at the same time tho this film also really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as it's plot as bad as it is is one that's really underdeveloped with the film being more focused on it's prequel aspect then it is in telling a good and well thought out story when as other films have proven you can do both by having the main plot of the film feed into the films prequel aspect or even have it go the other way around as well but because of the fact that this film is alot more focused in telling how all of these aspects from the show came to be it does mean that we get a story that feels really rushed and undercooked with the same thing kind of being true for it's characters as the characters do fair a little bit better then the plot as the film does give us plenty of time with these characters however outside of the opening scene with Bo and Luke we get to find out nothing about these characters that makes them likable or even memorable for that matter which is a shame as the film really does hinge on us liking it's characters due the film even having the predictable third act breakup with the boys only it doesn't work because of the fact that the film hasn't given us a reason to really care for these characters as it's characters are just so bland and boring but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us inn tis very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that good. With there not really being any decent jokes in the film with the film being having quite alot of s*x jokes in it which to be fair is true to the previous film and that world but at the same time it's also not something that you'd expect or either want from The Dukes Of Hazzard where you expect and want the jokes to be more geared towards the family and when the jokes aren't s*x jokes there jokes about how dumb both Bo and Rosco are which OK the original show make jokes about Rosco not being all that smart but they were very few and far between with alot of this films jokes being so bad that there more groan inducing then they are actually funny with the only decent one liners in the film being the stuff that Uncle Jessie and even then that's more due to the fact that the character is being more written for Willie Nelson as they don't feel like the type of jokes that Uncle Jessie would say but at the same time tho they do feel like the types of jokes that Willie Nelson would say as when you think of Uncle Jessie you think of someone who is wise and loving but also harsh when he needs to be and not someone who is willing to make s*x jokes alot of the time and do wordplay jokes the next with the best jokes in this film being the world play jokes that Willie Nelson says as even tho Chris McDonald is funny in this film alot of his jokes just aren't that good where as it's the opposite that's true for alot of Uncle Jessie's jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall out of the two remake Dukes Of Hazzard films this one is better then the previous film in one respect but also so much worse then it in other respects as there is a clear effort to make this film feel alot more like the show but at the same time tho this film is still just a really bad film in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Dukes Of Hazzard fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Moving On" Review

It's fairly safe to say at this point in time that I really do love Worzel Gummidge so much so that I own all of the episodes from the original Jon Pertwee version of the show on remastered DVD. With the episode that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being an episode that does kind of set the tone for what we would get in the following sequel series Worzel Gummidge Down Under and so then join me as I review the episode that could technically be considered the first part of a two part episode with the episode in question being called simply just "Moving On" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Peter's and The Braithwaights return from there join holiday to Tenerife they find there home in shambles as both Worzel and Aunt Sally have been living there and now Worzel has to find a way of being reunited with his beloved Aunt Sally when a fairground collector comes by and picks her up with the hopes of restoring her to her former glory. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes plot wasn't all that good either as even tho the next episode has next to nothing to do with this episode in terms of plot outside of Worzel , Aunt Sally and later The Crowman being in a new location this episodes plot does feel like that it's just one long prolog to a much more better episode that's not to say that this episodes plot is bad because it's not infact there times where the old charm that this show had when it just focused on Worzel as a character really does begin to shine through but because of the fact that this is the era where Aunt Sally was forced into alot of episodes it's not a plot that's as fun as it really could have been and while you can't really see the ending coming it's the events that lead up to the ending that let the whole thing down as this is a plot that really could have been handled much more better then what it was in the final episode with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally. Also starring in this episode is Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite, Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Jeremy Austin as John Peters , Diana Van Proosdy as Mrs. Cousins , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman and Aysha Mitchell as Emma.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this show is really nothing all that new as all of this shows episodes including the ones that aren't that good all have the same thing in common and that's the fact that the acting in all of them is nearly always top notch with the same thing being true for this episode as well as all of this episodes actors really do turn in some really good performances which is something that does make alot of sense as this show had an OSCAR winning director directing all but one of the shows episodes in director James Hill who it is said treated this show like he was making his next big feature length film and that is something that does shine through in the episodes performances as he always demanded the best work from all of the actors that he worked with be they kids or adults and because of that it meant that we got to see some truly wonderful pieces of acting not only from this show but from this episode as well with it being hard to say just who the best actor in this episode really was they all turn in some really great performances in their own right with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What this episode does do that alot of other Aunt Sally focused episodes don't do is show us both Worzel and Aunt Sally together and happy. As alot of the time we see them arguing with each other and Aunt Sally usually betraying Worzel's trust and love for her by the end of the episode something which is still in the episode but alot of the time we actually get to see them happy and act friendly to one another which is something that does make for a refreshing and while Aunt Sally will never ever truly love Worzel due to the fact that she has to much of an ego that's half the fun of the episode is just seeing these characters one of which doesn't like the other and the other is completely and madly in love with the other just get along with one another and while other episodes have shown them acting friendly to each other in the past it's never usually for alot of the episode and is more usually then not just for a few minuets of that episodes running time where as here they act like good friends for the vast majority of the episode which was sweet as it gave us the audience a chance to see that Aunt Sally can be kind to Worzel regardless of if she's going to be getting something out of it or not but at the same time that also makes Worzel all the more foolish as even tho he's a scarecrow of very little brain he really should have learned by now that she will hurt him and break his heart something that she does at the end of the episode when she runs off right infront of him to join the fair only now Worzel runs after her which only makes the heartbreak that he goes through in the following episode all the more upsetting as we the audience know just how far he's willing to go to be with the woman that he truly loves even if it's going to cause him alot of heartache in the process.

Again what was interesting about this episode in particular was seeing Worzel and Aunt Sally sharing a house together. With this being something that Worzel had always wanted and Aunt Sally had aways wanted a house of there own and yet even so they still do fall back onto old habits with Worzel doing anything and everything that Aunt Sally says but messing it up in his own unique way and Aunt Sally bossing him around and doing whatever it takes to make sure that she herself doesn't get to do any of the housework something which does feel true to who both of these characters as Worzel would do anything that she says as that's how he thinks that she's expressing her love for him and Aunt Sally would go about doing anything to avoid doing any of the housework as she's a big time diva with the ego to match it and the fact that the house that they've chosen to live in actually belongs to The Braithwaights does work as well as while any of those characters would never go abroad for a holiday the fact that they left there house unattended made it perfect for Worzel and Aunt Sally to go wild and have there way with it something which they did take full advantage of altho given that the farm hand Harry was meant to be looking after the place and was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire episode does make you wonder what he was up to as the episode does kind of start of a plot with Mr. Braithwaite believing Harry to be the one that caused all of the mess in the house and around the farm yard but the episode does drop it for no good reason which is understandable as the episode is meant to be all about Worzel and Aunt Sally and to be fair the two living together is more then enough for comedy gold to happen.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this episode does kind of start something that the sequel series Worzel Gummidge Down Under would also do and that's the two part episode. As while this episode isn't a two-parter in the more traditional meaning of the word the next episode does mainly feature Worzel and Aunt Sally now working at the fair that Worzel was chasing after at the end of this episode with The Crowman eventually catching up to him but that's really the only thing that connects the two episodes but it is something that does show you that the makers of this show were more then willing to make these stories that do require more then one episode in order to do them justice and while these two episodes aren't the best example of how to do a two part episode the very fact that they tried to do one at all with the limited main characters and still somehow managed to make a memorable new character in Dolly Clothes Peg does go to show you that even with a very limited set of characters and very little plot to actually follow up on magic can still happen if you have the right creative team involved but even with that said the two part episodes that they did do in Worzel Gummidge Down Under are better in the regards that there actually stories that do require more then episode to tell there story and do take full advantage of being a two part episode by making those episodes not only more ambitious then the rest of the shows episodes but also at times alot more scary as well where as with  this two part episode and this episode in particular it felt like that they were playing things a bit to safe with the story that was being told.

For some odd reason the makers of this episode don't really do much with The Crowman with him being just behind Worzel and Aunt Sally for alot of the episode. This is despite the fact that previous episodes have established the fact that he always knows where all of his scarecrows are thanks to his Pigeons telling him so which makes you wonder why he just didn't use them in this episode and catch up to both Worzel and Aunt Sally before Worzel took his bike at the end of the episode as that then would made the characters inclusion in this episode seem more relevant and would have been more true to his character because as things are him being in the episode just feels like a set up for the ending of the next episode as he has very little to do in this episode which does make you wonder why the character was forced into this episode as the Worzel creative team are usually pretty good about what characters get included in what episode with them all serving a purpose in the episode that there in and yet here they seemed to have dropped the ball as The Crowman would know straight away where to find Worzel and Aunt Sally and while he might not be able to stop Aunt Sally from leaving the village as he didn't create her he did create Worzel and could therefor persuade him to remain in the village but for whatever reason the makers of this episode just chose to have remain just behind whatever Worzel and Aunt Sally are doing and ignoring all of his scarecrows which is something that does feel very out of character for him this is despite the fact that it's been shown in several episodes that he does have other scarecrows to look after apart from Worzel Gummidge and so he would therefor want to give them as much attention as he gives him.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have with the episode even having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and the episode even makes great use of it's running time as the plot of the episode does feel as fully developed as it was going to be considering that this is basically the first part of a two part episode even the following the episode doesn't really follow up on the plots from this episode and just does it's own thing with even the episodes characters being a fully developed as they could have been which is something that's not really a praise for this episode as alot of this episodes characters are the series main characters and have therefor been in alot of the previous and so it would make sense for them to be fully developed characters as we the audience have had several episodes at this point in time to really get to know there characters and choose weather or not that we like them or not with really the only character that's not that well developed is the character of Mrs. Cousins however this isn't a negative thing as the character only appears in this one episode and is never seen from again in the rest of the show with the same thing also being true for her daughter Emma and so of course they won't that well developed as characters and to be fair the episode doesn't really suffer because of there lack of character development either but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With the episode having alot of moments in it that whilst they aren't laugh out funny they are cute enough jokes that people will find them funny regardless with those being the kind of jokes where this show excel as alot of the stuff with Worzel just trying to please Aunt Sally but messing it up will always be funny because of the fact that Worzel is just a likable character that we the audience will find alot of the stuff that does to be funny automatically because of the fact that Worzel himself is a funny character and paring him with Aunt Sally will always result in comedy gold with both Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs having such great comedic timing together that they can make alot of things funny with even the fact that Aunt Sally manages to hit Worzel on the head with a serving tray being a really joke as it feels like something that she would do especially when she's angry at him like she was in this episode and the fact that the episode ends with both of them actually like friends just naming cakes together is a really cute joke with it being hard to say just what the best joke is in this episode as all of this episodes jokes including the stuff with The Peter's and The Braithwaights returning from their holiday and just having people brush past them in a tightly packed British restaurant is a funny joke in it's own with all of this episodes being some really good jokes in their own right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall whilst this episode isn't the series best episode as the episode does have alot of things that are wrong with it with those issues becoming more of a common thread with the fourth series of this show but in saying that this was still a really solid episode in it's own right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad rings that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
